Kogan announces sub-$1000 LED televisions

Budget online retailer Kogan Technologies has announced the launch of two new televisions using LED backlighting technology. Available in 26in and 32in sizes, the as-yet-unnamed televisions are priced at $599 and $799, respectively — significantly less expensive than LED backlit TVs from brands such as Samsung, Sharp and LG.

Kogan’s LED televisions use 1366x768pixel panels, less than the Full HD standard of LED TVs from other manufacturers. The retailer claims dynamic contrast ratios of 3,000,000:1 for both screens, with a native 2000:1 ratio.

The televisions are available for purchase now on the Kogan online store, with an expected delivery date of mid-March.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
